Don’t Drop the Ball on Your New Year’s Eve Plans in Huntsville

New Year’s Eve in Huntsville

In a short time from now you’ll be cheering “Happy New Year!”

With New Year’s Eve right around the corner, you don’t want to drop the ball (corny, we know…but hopefully you love us for that) on making plans. You might be wondering what, if anything, would be open the evening before the New Year in the Rocket City as well as the first day of the new year. Many places close down to ring in 2018, but not Huntsville. Here in the Rocket City, we understand that New Year’s Eve is a pretty big deal.

Featured below is a list for you to pick and choose when and where you want to go, because we appreciate that while some people may want to have a night out for the evening, others may want to conquer all of the festivities during the day and then watch the ball drop from the comfort of their own home. Whether you choose to be an early bird or a night owl this New Year’s Eve, Huntsville wants you to get the most out of your holiday celebration.
